They were probably the best in the state, but no one would ever know except the teams that had to play against them. He tells me they had less than a 1.5 GAA with a schedule similar or tougher than Edina's. So I understnd your thinking. Its hard when the players only prevent goals and don't put any on the board for them to get recognized.
I agree. Edina's GAA was a little higher and was 1.68. Considering the schedule I think that's outstanding too but no recognition for the D. My daughter has participated in programs with College coaches and they said that they aren't looking for girls that score or rush the puck, they are looking for solid D that play good position, hold the point, stop goals from being scored and can get the puck out of their defensive zone. Unfortunately that type of play is rarely recognized.

A total of five Minnesota goalies are going: Altmann, Grogan, Kaasa, and two Throughbreds (if they count.). It was a tough year for the Minnesota goalies, that's for sure.

Yes Nikki Kassa is going to Wisconsin. Forgot about the Thoroughbreds. I know there was a girl from Ramsey that is going out east. Who else from that team?

Hockey_rocker was the Ramsey girl the goalie who played Anoka Bantams before moving on to the T'breds
If so, where is she going to play out east?

Oh, the 5th one I was counting is actually from Hudson, WI, but she plays for the Thoroughbreds, so I was confused. My fault.

How can a player make All State that is voted on by the college and high school coaches, and make AP Honorable Mention? Something is not right.

I just want to say that Blake was 24-1-3 on the year. Their goalie was a Ms. Hockey finalist. She must have been ok.
